Chennai: Expressing his thanks to the Sri Lankan Tamils for their love and affection showered on him, Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth today said he would meet them at an appropriate time. The Actor's statement comes in the wake of Tamils taking out a rally in Jaffna in support of him, after he had announced the cancellation of his proposed visit to Sri Lanka, especially to Jaffna, Kilinochi and other areas, following objections raised by some political parties, espousing the cause of Lankan Tamils.
Rajinikanth was scheduled to attend a series of functions on April nine and ten, besides meeting the internally-displaced Tamils affected during the final phase of the war in 2009, share their plight and hand them over 150 houses constructed for them by Gnanam Foundation. However, following opposition from parties like the VCK and MDMK, the actor cancelled his visit and appealed to the leaders of those parties not to politicize the issue, if he gets another opportunity to visit Sri Lanka and meet the Tamils living there.
In a statement here today, Rajinikanth said "I came to know your love for me through the media.' 'I have no words to thank you. Let us, think good and only good things will happen," he said. He also said he would meet them at an 'appropriate time'. 'I pray to god for your well-being," he said. (UNI)
